Jacob Williams and Alina Kulyk were on honeymoon in Greece when Russia invaded Ukraine and attacked their home city, Kyiv
A couple stranded on honeymoon in Greece by Russia's invasion of Ukraine say they are worried and frustrated at not being able to get home. Jacob Williams, originally from Staffordshire, and Alina Kulyk live in Kyiv and were due to fly back the day after the conflict began. Mrs Kulyk's parents and family are still in Ukraine and she said the last message from her mother was about air raid sirens sounding in their town.The couple had been preparing for their return when Mr Williams said his wife woke him up in tears to tell him the invasion had begun."People we know are in these cities that they are saying are getting attacked and shelled.
Mr Williams, originally from Newcastle-under-Lyme, moved to Kyiv in October 2019 and married Mrs Kulyk earlier this year."I saw a video of a square in Kharkiv just completely blown up and we were there a couple of years ago to see one of Alina's friends who is stuck in the city."
